Abstract
This paper proposes a modified pilot selection for systematic polar coded MIMO-OFDM channel estimation. Polar codes provably achieve the theoretical limit for communication systems and systematic polar codes generate the codeword that has the same value of information bit. Using this property, an efficient channel estimation scheme was proposed; values of some information bits are fixed to zeros or ones and utilized for pilot symbols. Similarly, we also can fix values of some frozen bit as zeros or ones by exploiting features of the encoding generator. By combining these advantages, pilot signals are selected from the systematic polar coded symbols themselves and we do not need add and insert pilot symbols just to estimate the channel. Leveraging this, we apply the proposed systematic polar coding scheme to MIMO-OFDM system under frequency selective fading channel. The simulation results provided that the performance of the proposed channel estimation scheme outperforms the conventional MIMO-OFDM system.
